Summary

Barge-Lincoln Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 518 students in the Yakima School District, a district that faces significant academic challenges across the city.

The school operates in a context of high economic need, but shows a notable area of strength in mathematics, where its student proficiency (25%) is higher than the district average and outperforms several nearby schools like McKinley Elementary School and Adams Elementary School. However, its overall academic ranking is low compared to schools across Washington, and its performance in English Language Arts is below the district average. Interestingly, the school has shown some effectiveness in supporting its English Language Learner students compared to other schools statewide.

When comparing schools within the same district, performance varies widely even with similar student demographics. For instance, Nob Hill Elementary School achieves higher proficiency rates, while Robertson Elementary has shown recent improvement. Barge-Lincoln's own historical performance has been volatile, suggesting outcomes can be influenced by school-level factors like leadership, teaching quality, and program consistency, indicating potential for improvement with the right supports.
